@ Avinash_Tyagi

I am not stressed.

I'm doing just fine

You are the stressed one, cuz the PS3 is close to your beloved Wii, and you can't handle it. It's really sad, instead of congratulating, you come in congratu-hating. I have no problem with the Wii's success. They ahve done great, and they're the market leader, but you can't say the same about the PS3. You can't come and congratulate them when something goes their way... But why would I expect you to? You ARE extremly biased...

I think that this post is true after reading some of his/her comments,,,so DMeisterJ don't argue with a person that is as biased as  he/she is,,,avinash _tiyagi Wii and Ds have dominated the world with the sales of 100000000000000000000 units in one week even though they both were suffering from shortage problems and lets not forget NPD was wrong in December,,,,,Now I think you can rest(I do like ninty ,not as much as you do though)


 Actually I don't mind that PS3 sold well in Janurary, in fact I wasn't even talking about PS3 sales, only thing that is a concern to me is the disparity between NPD DS figures and VGC DS figures, although I admit I have a VGC bias and support their figures over NPD


I understand that and that's totaly  fine,,I was just saying you should be happy that PS3 is selling good,,you might ask why?/let me explain

 Do you think if it wasn't for PS2 success ,nintendo would try this hard to impress gamers this time around?I don think so

If PS3 and Xbox 360 sell closer to Wii ,,nintendo will put out more decent games for you to enjoy,,,,if nintendo sells 5 time more than other consoles ,they will not work as hard to impress you(which could mean  more games like Carnival or chicken shoot and that would be a sad day for ninty)

All I am saying is that good and healthy competition will benefit all of us gamers,,,cause it forces the manufactrer to push harder and lets face it we should be thankful for that.being heavily Biased is for share holders not us gamerz ,don't ever forget that(alittle bias is ok though)

cheers

@Avinash: Can you give more specific information about NPD being from for December? I must have missed that and would like to know how it happened when NPD tracks sold to customer and fiscal reports sold to retail.
Did NPD stated Wii sold more than were actually shipped or sth like this?

If there was a thread concerning this case and you have a link to it, it would be helpful to post it (I was trying to find it but failed).

 I'm a little confused about the wording of your comment

 I think you want the Nintendo financial data from Q3 and the threads on that, I don't have those links because I can't access my posting history for some reason and there is no search feature, its somewhere on the form, so I can only tell you to look around a little for it



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

@ OkeyDokey

Why, cuz we're getting all of the attention you usually get? Sorry, this is a videogame site, not okeydokey(dot)com

Around the Network

With those two banned, more than half of the thread is gone...

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

That was a bit harsh. You get banned on VGC for being repetitive, calling someone "dude", or what?



Interesting turnout, for me it's a bit of surprise.



Personally, I think there must be something wrong with the VGC numbers. 360 has outsold the PS3 every week of January, despite being short of stock, and M$ admit they lost to PS3 this month. I think NPD are closer to the truth



WTF? All of these people banned? Was there a fight? It's starting to feel like the Vibe awards up in here.
